The best thing to do is to keep the car clean (I clean it every sunday) and to roll down all the windows as you drive every once in a while, particularly if it gets windy. I have used Ambi pure, but if the car takes a hard bump, it falls off the a/c vent and one has to grope under the seat to find the regulator and the bottle, which invariably separate. In the process, I have more than once got a strong smell of the perfume on my fingers which does not go away all day.

The best thing, I have found, to get rid of the smell is a carpet deodorizer.
I used to use it when in the US. You can get is cheap at a dollar shop for
1$. Spray it on the carpet on the floor of the car (not on the rubber mat if you have one). However I don't know if it's available here & how much it
costs.

I am not a big fan of anti-bacterials. Every product nowadays contains
antibacterials. I think we are going overboard with bacteria. There is a
lot of good bacteria which is very useful. For eg. killing bacteria will cause
fungal growth. I avoid anti-bacterials whenever I can.
